Better yet, let your own lawn go, use the money we're both saving to buy some scotch and come set on the front portch drinking it with the time you've saved yourself from mowing.

Why would I want to sit on my front porch looking at your old F-150 that's rusted and on blocks?

Yes I care what my neighbor's yard looks like. I keep mine looking nice and would prefer to look out on another nice yard rather than a junk pile. Do I have aright to demand it? No. But it doesn't mean I don't care.

And it's the jerks who leave junk in their yard or let it grow into long weeds that generate the need for laws that call for fines for having a wildflower meadow instead of a lawn.

Did you know you can make a working howitzer out of old F-150 parts?

I love the last line. If everyone would just do what we repressed suburbanites want without passing laws, there'd be no need to pass laws. Indeed.

I'm pretty sure if I left a truck rusting in my yard I'd get a ticket.

As to wild yards, there are two within a few blocks of my home- that is hippy wild prairie yards, not over grown bluegrass yards. One of them is left wild but the other is gardened to try to achieve, i guess, what that hippy would make nature look like if em were God?

anyway, if we had acre big yards I might like the look, but if you have a "wild prairie" in a block of suburban lots it seems silly, plus the seed drift probably fucks with the neighbors' lawn maintenance, plus I bet all the vermin collect on that one lot.

So you're saying you'd rather be mowing the lawn than hanging out in the hot-tub?

The family that buys a house in the suburbs and then engages in civil disobedience in defense of their individual property rights is just a garden variety free rider problem.

I'll bet you're a lawn-striper.

Speaking of which, at what age is it inappropriate to have boy and girl siblings bathing together? I heard something today that made me cringe.

Heard while they were in the bathtub?

i watched a video of two 20 year old twin sisters bathing together the other day. I don't know about appropriate, but everything in it seemed really natural.

One can speak it "through one's mouth, or one's heart," so you don't have to say anytihng. I guess the forgiving part is nice, of course there may be times where it just opens some old wound, but for the most part it probably is some comfort-

BUT the apologizing part seems dangerous to me- like my FIL is a bit of a goof (in a nice way) so he says "ove rthe course of our marriage sometimes I looked at other women, I never acted, but I have looked." The Rabbi says, "everyone does that, that's nothing." (MIL couldn't really speak at that point).

Here's the thing- what happens when the apology is "I cheated on your 4 times. Sorry." First, your kids are there, second what is the dying person going to do with that?

Anyone Wonk or any Jewess have any good "apology" stories?

One hopes the person with the cheating apology has the sense to do it silently.

Really, why do people care what their neighbor's lawn looks like? I can understand objections to a barking dog (well, on a certain level) or to a stinking pig sty, but if I leave a pile of rotting machinery on my front lawn that I'll scavenge for parts now and then or let my weeds grow cause I have better things to do than mow, why should the next door neighbor care? The idea that some town actually cites someone for growing a meadow just seems so wrong on so many levels.

This is why I refuse to live in HOA neighborhoods, where busybody neighbors get involved in my property rights. As far as I can tell, the only time the city gets involved is when there's some allegation of rodent infestation.

I might be interested in an HOA that outlaws unnatural, manicured, green-grass lawns.
